Recipe Overview
Overview
Lasagna Soup is a delightful twist on the classic Italian dish, bringing all the beloved flavors of lasagna into a comforting bowl of soup. The recipe starts with sautéing garlic and ground beef, which creates a savory base that sets the tone for the entire dish. The addition of tomato paste and diced tomatoes gives it that rich, tomatoey goodness we all crave in lasagna.
What makes this soup truly special is the incorporation of broken lasagna noodles, which cook quickly and absorb the delicious broth. As the noodles simmer, they become tender and soak up all the flavors from the beef and tomatoes. After about ten minutes, you’re left with a hearty, satisfying soup that’s perfect for chilly evenings.
Topping the soup with creamy ricotta and a sprinkle of mozzarella cheese adds a luxurious touch, making each bowl feel like a warm hug. Fresh herbs like parsley and basil not only enhance the flavor but also add a pop of color, making the dish visually appealing. It’s a simple yet effective way to bring comfort food to the dinner table without the fuss of layering traditional lasagna.
This Lasagna Soup is not only easy to make but also a crowd-pleaser, making it ideal for family dinners or gatherings. It’s a recipe that you’ll want to keep in your rotation, especially during the colder months when a warm, hearty meal is just what you need.
